Today, I am on site, at Lake Champlain, investigating the location from which the new footage was taken and other details. I will be talking to various individuals connected to this incident and there with a regional documentary film crew. I’ll give a overview of what I discover later in the week.

[Noon update, Tuesday: I briefly found a wifi location. It is sunny and in the 80s here. Quite different than over on the Atlantic Coast where I was yesterday. No Champ sightings yet. Only one live woodchuck, and he wasn't chucking wood but eating some form of plant material. More later, or tomorrow.]

I’ll keep my eye out for misidentified animals. And hidden cryptids.

The following stabilized version of the Eric Olsen-obtained video was produced by John Donald Carlucci of Darke Media.

Thanks for enhancements and photos from E. Shephard, Yakcam, Impossible Visits, Sean Viloria, John Donald Carlucci, BoyInTheMachine, Jason Ficks, Sam Hemingway, M.G., during this process, and, of course, Eric Olsen.
